Criminal – Sexual abuse – Expert – Closing argument

Where a defendant, who was convicted of rape of a child and indecent assault and battery of a child under 14, now claims that (1) it was prejudicial error for the trial judge to admit expert testimony by a psychologist that it is uncommon for children to lie about sexual abuse and (2) the prosecutor's closing argument contained facts not in evidence and impermissibly shifted the burden of proof to the defendant, these arguments are without merit and thus the convictions are affirmed.
